The vibrant arts scene features galleries and theaters hosting cultural events year-round, providing easy access to nature and exceptional amenities. We offer more than a place to live. We offer a community to thrive, connect, and celebrate every day in. We offer a place that truly feels like home... because it is. With our ample list of community amenities designed to support our residents' independence, we set the stage for residents to choose a path that suits them best. On Main Street, our central thoroughfare, residents have access to a fitness center, dining room, lounge, theater, billiards room, and game room. All of these spaces are designed to be open centers for connection and activity, making each residents' experience unique depending on interest. And with our rotating calendar of engaging social events, there is always something to do! However, when our residents want some peace and quiet, they can find comfort in our spacious apartment homes. With a variety of floorplans fit for every lifestyle, there's plenty of room to create a personal oasis of respite. In each apartment, residents will find full kitchens, a washer and dryer, central heating and cooling, balconies, storage spaces, and more. Even with the social focus of community living, residents should still feel like they're coming home to a place of their own when walking through their door. This independence and freedom is supported by our live-in managers and an expert team that support our residents while they enjoy their retirement. We believe that our residents' time shouldn't be preoccupied with chores, which is why we simplify the day-to-day with amenities like housekeeping, maintenance, valet service, a 24/7 concierge, and one of our most popular features, the Signature Freedom Dining program. Through our dining program, residents can enjoy chef-crafted meals for every meal, our 24/7 Chef's Pantry, custom-order sandwiches and pizzas, and a soft-serve ice cream machine. All of these amenities and more are wrapped into one, all-inclusive package. It truly is worry-free retirement living. On Main Street, residents have convenient access to a salon, bank, and general store.* Beyond everyday conveniences, our communities are thoughtfully designed to give residents the flexibility to settle in and stay - comfortably, confidently, and on their terms. As needs change over time, they can bring in additional support from third-party, in-home healthcare providers right in their apartment home.* It's the freedom to age in place without giving up the lifestyle and community they love. We know our residents have worked hard to get here, which is why we go above and beyond for them. Visit us today and see what we mean! *Fee-based service.…
